IME, the fail rate on Shimano cones is the highest of any of the brands I commonly work with. Very frustrating, and very little to no standardization. I usually have something laying around where I can scrounge a few cones, of course, that renders the other wheel useless.
Meanwhile, Campy cones are nearly bulletproof. Kind of odd that the Japanese known for quality and outstanding manufacturing missed the mark on cones.
You can find the Wheels Mfg kit above on Amazon for $111 for 26 cones.
